Hello everyone,
I am in Playa del Carmen for 7 months.
If anyone would like to meet up, I would be delighted. I am from Germany.

giustina 3mo

Hello Erika! I'll be visiting a friend in PDC 22-25 September 😊 I have only been a few times for work but can put you in touch with people who are there longer

ivanhoe 3mo

ivanhoe 3mo

Playa is a great place

erikacs 3mo

Hola todos! 😁️️️️️️ Anybody in Oaxaca interested having a dinner / drinks and chat in upcoming days? I just arrived and staying for a few weeks.

jermane 2mo

Does anyone know of digital nomad or expat groups in Mexico City? I arrive on Thursday, staying for a few months.

jermane 2mo

Also any recommendations of places to stay? I normally just do mostly stays in Airbnb but open to other options.

johnsw 2mo

Is there a WhatsApp group for Mexico City nomads / expats?

dnmuggle 2mo

Anyone in or around Mérida?

jermane 2mo

Not too many answers in this thread John. I asked the same question a few days ago and got nothing but crickets 😂

erinheuk 2mo

Hey Colin, I just got to Guadalajara. Are you still in town?

sensaydan 2mo

Anyone know a good videographer in CDMX?

lightninglt1 2mo

Hey all, about to book a trip to Tulum. I know Tulum gets mixed reviews but planning to give it a shot. Looking to stay in Aldea Zama and use the coworking spaces in town. May bounce over to PDC if it does become problematic. Will bring a backup laptop battery and 5G hotspot for backup internet. Anyone have recommendations/advice? Is the negativity overblown?

apocalips 2mo

make sure your chakras are in alignment

omtare 2mo

I didn't like it at all

lightninglt1 2mo

I get the whole price gouging in the hotel zone and the taxi cartel. But otherwise if you're in town and rent a scooter is it thaaaat bad?

gigabee 2mo

I guess it depends on what you're looking for.

I've personally avoided Tulum as ive been told its full of influencers and NPCs. I personally prefer to find like minded people to connect with, so its not to say there aren't great people over there, but im still to have met someone who has spent time there and would genuinely recommend it over other parts of México, especially considering more bang for your buck vs the quality you receive.

Either way, if you like it, win. If you dont, you have Bacalar, PDC and Merida to explore

goddardk 2mo

Anyone in Mexico City?

erikacs 2mo

Anyone in Playa del Carmen?

samdavis 2mo

yes sir. will DM you

remotejake 2mo

Orlando is very easy location to go to for it as a uk citizen

dnmuggle 2mo

Looking for a furnished rental in Querétaro.

digitalnomag 1mo

DM

hayden 1mo

Anyone in the Chapala/Guadalajara area?

samdavis 1mo

I'll probably be in guadalajara mid next week

omtare 1mo

What is attracting you there?

alejandrorebr 1mo

I was considering Tulum also but with all the bad press think I might just head to Bali again

naser88 1mo

Any contacts or advice for transport in tulum?

naser88 1mo

We’re flying in on Monday and realizing just how expensive transport is even for getting from the airport 🥲

samdavis 1mo

Changed my mind and going to playa del carmen instead. But it was just curiosity really

naser88 1mo

Answering my own question, but seems like renting from Mex is the best option

goddardk 1mo

Anyone in Cancun this or next week?

guillaumer5p 1mo

Hi all
Is mexico city safe compared to South East asia ? Do we have to avoid some places.

thewirednomad 1mo

Avoid Tapito

thewirednomad 1mo

There’s a funny but accurate drawing of a rooster on México City map and everything inside the rooster is safe

thewirednomad 1mo

The majority is safer than most US cities. I’ve lived here for half a year approximately and have had zero issues. In fact I’ve had zero issues in ALL my México travel

guillaumer5p 1mo

Thanks for the reply.

samdavis 1mo

Well in SE asia like in Thailand and Vietnam you can walk around late at night alone pretty much knowing nothing will happen. I dont feel like that can be done as safely in Mexico. Those countries are safer than mexico imo (and the cost of living is half what it costs in Mexico for the same lifestyle). That being said, i regard roma norte and Roma sur in México city to be very safe

ignaciogomezdf 1mo

Quick response: no, not even close. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not worth visiting with the proper precautions

ivanhoe 1mo

Its "Tepito"

ivanhoe 1mo

You can check the zones using this map from Peter Elst https://hoodmaps.com/mexico-city-neighborhood-map

mystagogue 1mo

I live in Mexico City, at the southern tip of what that "hood map" called "Hipster mecca". I've been here since 2022. In my experience, it is very safe. Never once have I seen anything, even when I'm out at 2am or 3am, that has concerned me or looked suspicious.

thewirednomad 1mo

Typo thanks

carlesbrunet 1mo

Heyy! We’re tech founders, going on a business trip to Guadalajara for three weeks (will be couple days in CDMX too) and we own a boutique tech and AI consultancy. If you have any suggestions to connect or business communities to communicate with prior to our trip, we’d like to network as much as possible because we have lots of ongoing projects and work to be done in the area . Happy to e-meet too :)

leighb77 1mo

Is playa del Carmen still a great place to work and enjoy the ocean ? I have never been - currently in the USA for business and it’s getting cold so thought I may visit for a few months over the Christmas season but I have heard a few negative reports so thought I might check in firsthand with anytime that’s been there recently - your feedback is greatly appreciated 😀

scooter 1mo

anyone else in playa del carmen now? thinkin of getting a long term rental

carlesbrunet 1mo

What's the average price for rental there?

aconway 26d

Who’s in Mexico City? I’m here until the 30th

bookophile 26d

When I was looking it was around 1500-2000 USD/mo for winter months (high season)

orimane 25d

I’m arriving on the 24th

erikacs 24d

Hello, I'll be in Playa del Carmen until mid-April.

erikacs 24d

Hello, I've been here with my husband since the beginning of September.
What have you heard?
Well, Playa del Carmen is very safe!
I can only recommend it.
We're staying here until mid-April.

erikacs 24d

👀 We pay less....

leighb77 24d

That’s great thanks for letting me know I thought it might be more hype than truth 😁🤣

groovebox 22d

Hey all! Headed to CDMX for an extended stay. Can somebody please share the links for the most active “general” chat groups on WhatsApp? Somebody already sent me Lustig List but most of those links are giving me errors. Feel free to message me directly if you don’t feel comfortable posting them here

groovebox 22d

Also interested in any CDMX WhatsApp groups for foodies, hiking, coworking, healthcare, board games, or bar trivia

shankyshow 19d

Hey everyone, I’m landing in Cancún tonight but don’t plan to stay there. I’m looking for a calm, walkable base for 2–3 weeks before I head to Medellín in mid-December.

My main goals are: focused work (I’m a fractional CTO building new clients), learning Spanish in an immersive way, joining dance classes, going to the gym, and building a simple daily routine. Not interested in partying or heavy tourism. Mostly looking for a warm, grounded community, even for a short stay.

Does Mérida still make sense for this, or would you recommend somewhere like Valladolid instead?

kaskuk 18d

Anyone in Oaxaca de Juarez? Will be here 6 days more.

dpercam 17d

Anybody in Puerto Escondido these days?

csroundtheworld 17d

Yes, Merida makes sense if you are talking ‘walkable’ after dark lol If you are accustomed to the heat you’ll be fine.

This place might still have networking events, they did when I patroned the place. The people are friendly and it’s a great place to feel productive.
For data security & privacy, they have a flat network. You’ll have to configure your own for security then connect to theirs…but that’s anywhere you go 🤷🏽‍♀️ Just a fair warning. Enjoy

I’m in Merida and think it meets those requirements. Feel free to message if you have questions.

digitalnomag 14d

Anyone in Playa del Carmen in December? Would be happy to meet up ☺️

guido 11d

Has anyone been able to set up a bank account in Mexico without having a “residency permit” (temporary or permanent) or visa? Based on what I read it’s not possible, however, I’m curious if anyone has seen anything else. Even neobanks like “Plata” and “Nubank” don’t seem to make it any easier for tourists.

glyphx 11d

Have you tried Kapital? I set mine up a few years ago with Intercam before Kapital acquired them. There's a couple others but I can't remember the names right now..

edudeleon 11d

Hey guys, I just arrived in Mexico Cty. Staying in Roma Norte and planning to explore some cafes in the area to get some work done, maybe take some dancing lessons and explore the city during the weekend. If anyone is up for meeting up, let's connect!

manuel_abascal 11d

I'm currently in Playa with my family until end of April. Let me know if you wanna go for a drink or something

athousandcups 10d

still in guadalajara ?? me and my partner just landed after 30 hrs of flight from china 😵‍💫😵‍💫

carlesbrunet 10d

Yessss

athousandcups 10d

hell yeah

dnmuggle 7d

Can anyone recommend non-party hostels or accommodations in Bacalar?

jamwil 7d

Hey! I stayed at Pato de Perro in January. No complaints and it didn’t feel like a party hostel, but I was there during the week so I am not sure if that changes on the weekend.

dnmuggle 7d

Appreciate it! Most of my stay will be during the week. Just two weekend nights. :)

jamwil 7d

Enjoy it there; it’s gorgeous 😊 I really liked Los Rápidos

dnmuggle 7d

Looks amazing!!!

sharonl2024 4d

Anyone been snorkeling at Mahuhual,Yucatán? How does snorkeling there compare to Cozumel? Online the town looks low key with good snorkeling from shore.
